LONGMONT -- Jury selection is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Boulder District Court for a trial for one of two men accused of the attempted murder of a member of the Sons of Silence motorcycle club member in his Longmont home in April.

The victim told police after the attack that Stanley Glade had been kicked out of the club because of his unpredictable and violent behavior. Glade is charged with attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree burglary, second-degree assault and aggravated robbery.

The 50-year-old victim said when he answered his door on April 17, Justin Jeske and Glade rushed into his home and beat him with the blunt end of a screwdriver and a motorcycle part. He said the men strangled him and said they were going to kill him.

When the victim broke free from the attack and retrieved a gun, Jeske and Glade fled from the home, stealing the man's wallet, driver's license and credit cards on the way out, according to reports.

The victim's credit card had been used to buy groceries and beer before police arrested Glade and Jeske in Milliken, according to a search warrant affidavit for Glade's home.

The victim sought treatment at Longmont United Hospital and police were contacted. According to reports, the victim and a friend reported that they are members of the Sons of Silence motorcycle club and typically do not involve the police in such matters. Police reported the men said they thought they should speak to police before Glade killed someone.

According to the search warrant, the man who took the victim to the hospital said that Glade used to be a good friend of the man he attacked. He said Glade had attacked the victim in Denver about eight months ago and injured him so badly that he was hospitalized. The incident was not reported to police, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. The man reported that "numerous members of the Sons of Silence now kept loaded handguns in close proximity to their persons due to their fear of Glade."
